emacs No Longer Works After A Cygwin Upgrade

emacs No Longer Works After A Cygwin Upgrade

[Tim Daneliuk]

This has happened the last few times I did an upgrade with setup.exe.
emacs, emacs-nox, and emacs -nw will not start at all.  Xemacs works
fine.

Previously, I was able to work around this by falling back to a 
previous version of emacs, but this too seems broken now.

Ideas?

While we're waiting for a full problem report, I'll make my best guess: 
  The OP needs to run rebaseall.

And possibly also a "cygcheck /usr/bin/emacs.exe" right?

Yes, but without the ".exe".  (/usr/bin/emacs is a symlink that resolves 
to either emacs-X11.exe or emacs-nox.exe.)

Ah, right.  In that case, it would probably be best to do:

cygcheck /usr/bin/emacs-X11.exe
cygcheck /usr/bin/emacs-nox.exe

I don't think cygcheck can resolve a symlink.

(I'm not near a Windows machine to test right now)

I already tried this.  No go.

And what about the other two suggestions you've been given in this thread:

1. http://cygwin.com/problems.html

2. cygcheck /usr/bin/emacs

I finally just did a clean reinstall of the whole system.  It likely
took less time to do this than to track down whatever obscure
anomaly was glitching up emacs ...

For the archives, yes, it can.

I don't have emacs on my machine (vi is the one true editor) but the 
only difference between the two invocation methods is that if you pass a 
symlink, cygcheck emits an extra line at the start indicating that it 
chased a link.  Something like this:

     -> C:\cygwin\bin\emacs-nox.exe

I tested this with /bin/infotocap vs. /bin/tic.exe.

(Why that pair?  It just grabbed my attention first after ls /bin.)
